Petrock might be better suited for the position of VP of Acquisition Stop Loss, seeing as how he is always popping his top. I, however, feel I might fit in better as VP of Hey, Wasn't That Planet FC Different?

Roast Duckroid

1 (5- to 6-lb) Idaho Deckroid
2 cups boiling-hot water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.

If necessary, cut off wing tips with poultry shears or a sharp knife. Remove and discard excess fat from body cavity and neck, then rinse duck inside and out. Prick skin all over with a sharp fork. Fold neck skin under body, then put duck, breast side up, on a rack in a 13- by 9- by 3-inch roasting pan and pour boiling-hot water over duck (to tighten skin). Cool duck, then pour out any water from cavity into pan. Pat duck dry inside and out, reserving water in pan, then rub duck inside and out with kosher salt and pepper.

Roast duck, breast side up, 45 minutes, then remove from oven. Turn duck over using 2 wooden spoons, and roast 45 minutes more. Turn duck over again (breast side up), tilting duck to drain any liquid from cavity into pan. Continue to roast duck until skin is brown and crisp, about 45 minutes more (total roasting time: about 2 1/4 hours). Tilt duck to drain any more liquid from cavity into pan. Transfer duck to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Discard liquid in roasting pan.

How To Make Fricasseed Fascist:

A wholesome, warming dish which is an alternative to the typical Sunday winter-roast.

Ingredients:
1 Average Sized Fascist on the pudgy side
1 petrol station in any public piazza
3 meat hooks
30 - 40 partisans
Medium sized pile of rocks.

While the ingredients for this dish are easily found, the dish can be troublesome in the beginning due to festive explosions which make catching the Fascist a rarity.

While hanging the Fascist upside down from the roof of the petrol station, have the partisans lovely tenderize the chest and back of the Fascist by stoning the carcass. Once sufficiently tender, allow the Fascist to hang in this spot for 3 to 4 days while being ridiculed by the public.

Next week, we make Triceratops Tri-Tip BBQ. Mmmm... delicious.

You left out a wine suggestion.... philistine...

OK, there being no objections, both the celebrity chefs and the rest of us should anticipate a change in schedule to 2X. However, I decided that Mon and Thurs will give us a more evenly divided week and give us the most time to work on each turn.

I wanted to figure out some way to make players with more than 60 planets (and we know who I am really talking about, don't we?) have even less time while giving the rest of us more time, but I couldn't figure out how to accomplish that without tossing out every other turn said players sent in. Somehow, I didn't think I could get away with that.

Oh thanks,

it's not this game at all. I perform some others in the same time. One e.g. with a lot more of 100 planets (but the goal is "sunk kt"...). I don't know why... I just love building up empires... (I'm the *ancient* one)

@ celebrities: I appreciate to sit down with a look at hooked fascists, grunching a well grilled bird... to drink? Beside dark beer, I suggest a french aoc red wine, one from the not so well known areas. Or a spain navarra - it's cheaper than rioja, but ~ the same quality.

Go on! t.e.o. aka Gert

I could go shoot out his porch light..... Would that help?

That's about all the good some pop guns would do to that bo-hee-moth Barosaurus.

Okay Flintstone, fire up the BBQ and whip us up some Bronto burgers.

Sigh,,,,

Actually The Tholians seem frisky... Wonder full, now I gotta go break all MrJs fine crystal.... Again....

Dosn't have ANYTHING to do with the ship she caught snooping ur exploring....
